Grammar
Although less well publicized
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I have a strictly grammatical question: how would you analyse the following sentence? 02 br
02 br
00 "Although less well publicized, numerous human languages have also become extinct, and others are threatened with extinction" 02 br
02 br
00 Although less well publicized: 1. Is it a clause or not? Is the auxiliary verb omitted, or "publicised" is to be considered a past participle functioning as an adjective? Or rather, is it a non-finite clause? 02 br

00 thank you so much 0-
